Which side of the plane to sit from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (Lucknow) to Kempegowda International Airport (Bangalore)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the transition from the Gangetic plains to the rugged Deccan Plateau, including prominent mountain ranges and major reservoirs.
Vindhya Range
The ancient, weathered ridges of the Vindhyas marking the edge of the northern plains.
Satpura Ranges
Dense forest cover and rugged topography through the central Indian heartland.
Tungabhadra Reservoir
A massive and striking blue water body that stands out against the arid Deccan landscape.
Deccan Rock Formations
Unique granite boulders and ancient volcanic plateaus typical of northern Karnataka.
Nandi Hills
The famous hill fortress and popular sunrise spot visible just north of Bangalore airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the western horizon. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing to capture the Tungabhadra reservoir and the dramatic Nandi Hills.
Lucknow Cityscape
Aerial views of the Gomti River and the historic Bara Imambara complex shortly after takeoff.
Gangetic Agriculture
Intricate patchworks of fertile farmland characteristic of the Uttar Pradesh plains.
Godavari River Crossing
The wide, meandering path of the Godavari river as it flows through the Deccan.
Hyderabad Perimeter
Distant views of the rocky outcrops and urban expansion of the Telangana capital.
Electronic City
The dense tech corridors of eastern Bangalore visible during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side for morning departures to enjoy the soft morning light over the plains without direct sun glare. It is also the best side for spotting the Gomti river's loops near Lucknow.
